For G. Dheivannai, handloom weaving has been part of her family for generations. For nearly 15 years, she and her husband have worked together from their home in Aruppukottai, Tamil Nadu, carrying this tradition forward by weaving cotton saris.
With the support of a microloan, Dheivannai is able to purchase the raw materials needed for her work and keep production running regularly. Together, the couple weave around two saris a day, earning a stable income that supports their family while keeping the craft alive.
At Svamaan, we support women like Dheivannai with financial support that helps them build sustainable livelihoods, carry forward family traditions, and create better possibilities for their families and the next generation.
